Cozumel is Way Better Than Cancun

My wrestling trip took me from Playa Carmen to Cozumel! We boarded the ferry and the gang took the trip across the ocean! We had a killer show and got lost in the jungle getting home. I ended up loving it here! The best X-pats in the world. Real local island jungle people. I was very shocked by how much fun I had.
